Ben Faherty of BON Plumbing Services on the Wirral has brought Wavin’s Pride of Plumbing campaign to a festive close.
Wavin Hep2O’s Pride of Plumbing 2021 set out to celebrate remarkable individuals from the plumbing community this year.
Ben takes home the fourth Pride of Plumbing accolade after being nominated for creating, funding and delivering more than 80 luxury Christmas hampers to those in need in his area last year.
They were filled with everything needed to make a Christmas dinner, selection boxes for children and handwritten cards from Ben’s son, Owen.
His customers got right behind him, raising £1,000 to help fill the hampers. Ben’s company contributed an additional £500, Wavin explained.
Ben said: “I am so grateful for family and friends that stepped in to help make this a success, from helping to pack the hampers, to storing the food. Just the idea of someone turning up to a food bank and being turned away because they had been four times previously seems really bizarre. Working with Richie we were able to work out who was most in need.
“We’ve got no regrets and this year we want to do it all again. We’re planning ahead and would love a unit with some fridges to take a bit of the time pressure off.”
